Island vacation rentals in Australasia

A wonderful place to reset from our hectic everyday lives. Maya and the team are wonderful, always available but not intrusive. Local building in neighbouring plot did not affect our stay, it was almost finished (April 2025). The team fed us breakfast and evening meals, all tremendous value. Get yourself a scooter, book Villa Nusa and completely unwind - we did and have no regrets. Simply superb, and what a view

This place is even more grand and beautiful when you arrive. It is much larger than the photographs show. And it is as dreamy and romantic as pictured and described. The staff was available at all times for anything we needed and the chef and food was amazing. They cook delicious local cuisine or anything you might desire. The home is overlooking the ocean with a great lull of the waves putting you to sleep at night. it's also located right above a surf school with local yoga studios, bars and a couple of restaurants, while also providing a sense of total isolation in nature. 5 stars!

It was a wonderful stay. Tari and Ketut are very helpful, discreet and friendly. We arrived early from Gili Trawangan and Tari organised a horsecart for us to drop off the bags. There are many places around to eat but not so many good ones. Opt for the in-villa dining. Ketut is a very good cook! The villa offers all the comforts you might need. We miss the huge pool! You might be spooked by a huge gecko in your open bathroom or a frog but otherwise the nature is not invasive.

Our place was absolutely beautiful! The pictures that were posted are exactly what you get! When we visit Hamilton Island again, we will definitely be booking this place, it was amazing and perfect for our family. The only thing we have to comment about is maybe update the couches in the living room. They are a bit worn down from all the wear and tear on them over the years by guests. But such a beautiful place and view.

Staying at the Lotus House was a complete indulgence. We loved it. Despite the rain we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves chilling out on the verandah and wandering down both to the pool and the ocean for a swim. It was an incredibly relaxing holiday. We definietly hope to stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay at Catappa. Everything was seamlessly smooth, from the collection at the airport, to our snorkelling trip with Budi, to our drop-off at Lembar port, and all the meals in between. Budi was an excellent snorkelling guide - the coral is not the most spectacular in Indonesia but we still saw loads of fish (as well as some commendable coral restoration efforts), and the general experience was excellent. Budi snorkelled with us with a GoPro so we now have some great photos of our trip. The staff were universally lovely and excellent. Recommend ordering off the Indonesian/Lombok menu for dinner - the western dishes we tried were fine, but the local cuisine was really pretty good, especially for the price - even though you're very much a captive audience you don't feel ripped off at all. Our villa was beautiful and the pool well-maintained. Highly recommend, and thanks to all the staff for their warm welcome and excellent service.

I am giving Katembe 5 stars because I had a 5-star experience, but I will be including a lot of FYI's for people considering staying. I think it is just ultimately a better experience if you know what you're getting into. - 4 nights minimum stay -- the listing says you take a 9AM ferry with no further details and really should be more clear. You would leave the resort at 7:30AM to get to the ferry port of Waisai. From Waisai (if you leave on time) it takes another 2 hours to get to Sorong where the airport is. Plan accordingly because the staff did not flag this when I forwarded them my flight info and I did have to book another flight and night in Sorong. - be prepared for nothing ever drying. My katembe towel was never dry after my first time using it, and things get really stinky. Bed sheets are moist/wet/damp the entire time. - If you're ok with that, the island is amazing, the food is fantastic and the people were my absolute fav part of this trip. Amazing boat trips!!!

The two story bungalows in Beser Bay and the surrounding bungalows are all located in a stunning environment with very interesting mangroves and rock features. You will be surrounded by friendly local families who take very good care of their guests! Catch sunset at the end of the jetty, aka WiFi point. Schedule activities through what’s app or catch one of the guides the evening you arrive. Petrik and Rico took us all the way out to Pianemo to snorkel and hike and back to Waisai to catch the 9:00 ferry, it was an amazing stay overall!

Not. One. Fault. Flawless experience on every possible level. Cannot fault the complexity and depth of detail involved in every aspect of our stay, the staff, the building, decor and aesthetics. Super super epic tranquility and hospitality. A million stars. Sad to leave.

Villa Voyage was an amazing villa right on the sand in such a beautiful location - watching the waves crash on the rocks was spellbinding and listening to the ocean at night was magical. The pool is crazy how good it is - The staff were so great and such lovely people, they made our stay. They were so helpful and looked after everything for us - it was very special to stay in such a nice location in such a great house while being looked after by such gorgeous people. It is the perfect house for a group stay - a holiday we will never forget. Thank you Villa Voyage and Elite Havens.

The Staff at Morin Resort are honestly the most lovely people I’ve ever met. They’d do anything to help you. The view is unreal and the room itself is definitely the most beautiful Airbnb I’ve stayed in.

as expected, everything is perfectly fine, we recommend

Beautiful Villa, access to the beach through the small garden door is beautiful, we liked everything about our stay at Indah Sekali, apart from not being able to stay longer. The staff is amazing, very nice, and offers excellent cuisine. The gardener is often on the property to maintain it.
